I love horror and sci-fi.

I'm not sure I agree with the thesis, because I think that even though something grotesque or gross has been part of film since way back, what we accept or what we can get away with on the screen is broader now.

I'd always been a science fiction enthusiast.

I think if people want to see pure sex in the movie, they have the Internet and the extraordinary things are available.

Everybody says how hard comedy is, but, when it comes time to honor things, whether it's on a weekly critical basis or whether it's award time, at that time of the year, comedy is the poor, dumb child of dramatic work.

We got some devastating reviews on Animal House at the start.

The real trick for me as a director is to make sure that people don't start pushing because the harder you push as a perform the less funny it becomes.
